S – “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸ When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or without clothes and clothe you? ³⁹ When did we see you sick, or in prison, and visit you?’ 

⁴⁰ “And the King will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me

Matthew 25:37–40 CSB

O – The commentaries view “brothers and sisters” as diverse groups.  It could be the “Jewish”nation, the poor or people who teach God’s word.  The concept of showing compassion and value to all people is more on point with me.  Each person had a vulnerable need and it was met by another.  We show God’s love when we do this.

A – We can express God’s love in tangible ways as an outer expression of an inner work done in our hearts.  As we allow God’s love to work in us, it becomes a easier and natural for us to slow down and serve another person in need.

R – Heavenly Father, you are the one, true God.  Please work in our hearts to move from being centered on ourselves to seeing the needs around us.  We want your love that changed us to others where they are at in their own needs.
